She was a slender woman wearing a fitted red dress. The fitted design accentuated her curves beautifully, and men passing by would occasionally cast admiring glances at her.
Despite seeing a completely unfamiliar figure from behind, Gu Baiwei inexplicably thought of someone—Xia Zhenzhen.
Xia Zhenzhen walks with her toes slightly turned outwards, and her shoulders tend to tilt slightly to the left, which is hard to notice unless you look closely.
And this woman's walking posture was almost exactly the same as Xia Zhenzhen's.
Perhaps noticing that someone was watching her, the woman suddenly stopped and turned around.
The moment their eyes met, she slightly curled the corners of her lips. Her face was small and delicate, with a pert nose and the currently popular pouty lips. She had a stunning face, but her smile was quite stiff.
Upon closer inspection, one can also notice some subtle swelling on her face.
Although this face is completely different from Xia Zhenzhen's, the eyes are exactly the same—vicious.
Almost the instant their eyes met, Gu Baiwei was certain that the woman was Xia Zhenzhen.
No wonder she went to such lengths to destroy that woman's body.
If I'm not mistaken, she probably used some means to have plastic surgery that swapped her face with that woman's, and then had that woman take her place and die.
If that's the case, then this woman is terrifying.
Lin Zheng didn't know how Xia Zhenzhen had managed to do such an unbelievable thing, but she was certain that all these strange events were related to Xia Zhenzhen.
What exactly is she planning to do?
What are you doing? Xia Zhenzhen's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Of course, it's to replace that vile woman and become the real Madam Shen.
The deceased Xia Zhenzhen was an experimental subject.
She used her abilities to control a plastic surgeon, getting him to swap her face with that woman's.
The woman who died was the plastic surgeon's wife.
She believed that if the same strategy worked once, it would work twice.
She gave Gu Baiwei a provocative smile and swayed away.
A man who was on the phone walked towards her and bumped into her without warning, causing his phone to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Damn, are you blind? The road is so wide..."
The man quickly picked up his phone, cursed angrily, but the moment he looked up and saw her face clearly, he couldn't utter another word.
Xia Zhenzhen curled her lips into a charming smile and said, "Be good, look into my eyes."
The man nodded stiffly, as if bewitched, staring at her intently.
Her smile gradually widened, and ripples spread across her dark eyes like waves on the surface of water.
"Alright, see that woman over there? Go over there and slap her for me."
She pointed at Gu Baiwei, who had just turned around, a glint of excitement in her eyes.
The man nodded stiffly and walked forward mechanically.
Xia Zhenzhen crossed her arms and watched the man mechanically follow her orders, looking on with amusement.
This is another special ability of her recently discovered cheat code.
By making physical contact with the other person and then having them look into her eyes, she can briefly control their consciousness and make them act according to her instructions for a certain period of time.
However, this special ability has a prerequisite: the other party must let down their guard.
In a short while, the man had already walked behind Gu Baiwei and mechanically raised his arm. But before he could slap her, a tall figure grabbed his wrist.
Shen Yanqing coldly shook off the man's hand and kicked him to the ground.
Big Head was a beat too slow; he rushed forward, grabbed the man's arm, and twisted it behind his back.
At this moment, Shen Yanqing suddenly realized that Dao Shi had been staring at him. He looked up expressionlessly and met a pair of shimmering eyes.
The moment his eyes met those, he frowned and looked away with disgust.
Xia Zhenzhen's gaze lingered greedily on his retreating figure, a voice inside her screaming that only a man like him was worthy of her.
The more disdainful and disgusted he looked at her, the more she wanted to conquer him.
She licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue, her gaze following the tall figure until he disappeared, before turning and getting into the black car next to her.
The moment she got into the car, feeling that disgusting gaze disappear, Shen Yanqing's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
He didn't like the way that woman looked at him.
He reached out and put his arm around Gu Baiwei's waist, letting her lean on his shoulder to rest: "Weiwei, rest for a while, I'll call you when we get to the hospital."
Gu Baiwei nodded, leaned on his shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.
She's been feeling sleepy lately, and she doesn't know if it's because of the pregnancy.
Before long, he fell into a deep sleep amidst the slight swaying of the car.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she opened her eyes and found herself surrounded by complete darkness.
"Yan Qing, where are you?"
Her heart was pounding uncontrollably, and she pressed her hand to her lower abdomen, where she felt sharp, throbbing pains.
But in the darkness, no one answered her.
Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound, and something wrapped around her ankle, feeling slippery to the touch.
Her body stiffened, and she looked down in horror, only to meet a pair of eerie, vertical, crimson pupils that looked like snakes. A chill ran down her spine.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
A strange sound came from the darkness. As the sound drew closer, Gu Baiwei was horrified to see those eyes getting closer and closer to her.
She vaguely felt something lick her face, and instinctively tried to run away, but a sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen again, and her body froze in place, unable to move at all.
Just then, a familiar cat meow suddenly rang in my ears.
In the darkness, she vaguely saw a pair of eyes glowing green...
The next moment, she suddenly woke up from her dream and found that the car was still moving, and the black cat on her lap was curled up in a ball, making even breathing sounds, as if it had fallen asleep.
"Little Black?"
She tentatively called out, and the black cat's ears twitched twice. It suddenly opened its eyes, meowed at her, and rubbed its furry head against her lower abdomen.
Thinking of the eerie scene in her dream, Gu Baiwei reached out and stroked the black cat's head, whispering a thank you to her.
Without the black cat, she didn't know what would happen, and she always felt it would be something terrible.
She glanced at her phone; only ten minutes had passed since she started the car, but in her dream it felt like an eternity.
"Hey boss, has that black car been following us the whole time?"
The driver, Big Head, suddenly spoke up.
Shen Yanqing's gaze fell on the black sedan on the dashcam, and he frowned as he said, "Speed up at the turn ahead and shake them off."
"Understood, boss."
He's good at this job.
